Lebanese tell BBC their residential building was brought down on top of them, killing 18 including children.

The attack happened without warning in a place where people thought they would be safe – about 150 metres from the entrance to Lebanon’s largest public hospital, the Rafik Hariri hospital in southern Beirut.

Mohammed and his family were asleep in their beds. “We didn’t recognise what is happening,” he said.

“After the strike we hear the sound like ‘boom, boom, boom, boom’ like this. And everything is thrown on us. Stones, metal, steel, fresh blood, fresh meat on us. You couldn’t speak, you couldn’t breathe, you couldn’t take your oxygen.”

A neighbour said, “everyone flew through the air”. Minutes later more remains were recovered from the rubble and carried away in a black body bag.

I asked Mohammed what he thought Israel could have been targeting, in this heavily populated area.“They are hitting everything randomly,” he replied, his voice strengthened by anger.

    How is this one country be bombing other countries with impunity, without international outrage or sanctions? What is the textbook definition of a declaration of war again?

        Hard and short term limits should exist until the US stops ending up with corrupt politicians using bribe money to stay in power and cover up the info being used to control them. I dont want to hear about the logistics of something like this in fucking 2025 or the lame duck bullshit, our government cant pass any laws but a budget thats required by law for them to pass anyway, they literally can’t work less than they already do.
